Recent (January 2014) Oot Bag Finds

I have recently lucked out on some great finds for my OOT bags, since my wedding isn't until December it gives me plenty of time to price shop and spread the "pain" of the cost out.

Yankee Candle is having one of their semi-annual sales and I thought these travel tins would be nice to add to the bags. They are normally $5.49, but they are now on sale for 75% off bringing them to $1.37 each. I got tropical scents Coconut Bay and Pineapple Cilantro.

I decided to make my own small bottles of aloe. I got the bottles at dollar tree and the aloe at Christmas Tree Shops - There are 3 bottles per package so that makes them 33 cents each and the Aloe is $3.49, but I had a coupon so it came to $2.93. So it will bring the price per bottle down to 70 cents plus the cost of the label.

I love the candles, aloe, etc ideas...but we are carrying everything with us to Mexico. how many guest do you have? are you mailing stuff to the resort or carrying it with you?

We are looking at having between 20-25 guests, so probably only needing about 12-15 bags. We are taking everything with us the shipping is crazy. I have also heard horror stories of people shipping their stuff to Mexico and it get held up at customs.
